    What a surprise to see this pattern. A couple of weeks ago someone brought a LARGE supply of fabrics etc into our quilt group. Amoung the fabric was this pattern on a brown paper bag. Someone had just given me a bunch of lace so I took the pattern home and made this lap quilt for a good friend. It was the most fun I have had since I played with dolls. I thought you might like to see it with lace. Also making a single as a wall hanging.

    I've seen a lot of "quilt finds" on this board, but I think yours takes the prize! How lucky you- and the quilt- are to have found each other! :thumbup:

    I have to find out how to send this to my friend. Her mother had this pattern. Her mother would be way over 100 if she were still living.

    It is a beautiful find

    Beautiful! What a deal!! I once walked away from a garage sale with TWO twin size flannel crazy quilts... $2!!! I paid, RAN to my car, with my face in the quilts, screaming for joy all the way!! Those days are sure over now! They had so many great things at this sale and everything was going for nothing... the people didn't care.. they just wanted it all GONE!!

    Its nice you got the quilt, since you will appreciate and enjoy it! Gotta love garage sales!
